Lies of Omission

Rent Lies of Omission

I have always softened my views by a general philosophy. The purpose has been to appeal to the better side of all of us, to look at the higher view of the nation and the world. That some seem to take that as naive concerns me, because there are few who are more radical than I am. That I appeal to the more rational side of all of us is an attempt to appeal to those who are not hardened to the realities, because if one is hardened, they do not need to hear from me. They already know what must be done and to who.

So, this post is a message to the rest. There are no soft sides to what must be done. There are a lot of people who think they are hardened, but I question that, because of the inaction in the face of the destruction of everything the true patriot holds dear. Where were you? I was there, my family knows I was there, they have dreaded the moment when anyone stood, knowing that it would force me to stand up with them, but nothing came.

Times are about to get hard. I believe that is imminent, so this post is in response to that probability. If I knew when exactly that was to come about I would be doing things differently, but no one knows when it is going to get difficult. I have a daughter in LA, I don't know what to do for her. She is young and does not understand everything about the country and I have left her in a state of normality as long as I have been able, but that is all about to change.

The next economic emergency will affect us all. No one is immune. Your finances are likely to be nationalized, which means that the government and the banks will take everything you own and if you don't believe they have the power to do so, you are misinformed. The people responsible for your destitution will be those you have willingly elected and those with whom you have giving your life savings. Don't look for sympathy here.

What will you do about it? From my observations of the last economic disaster, nothing.

I have tried over the past several years to appeal to the American spirit, the American ideal of liberty, but I have witnessed people much more willing to espouse their own vision of America and the concept of liberty than those willing to band together under one banner and fight back against the outrages that accompany every dictate of the government.

This is not a debating society. If one is not willing to commit their lives and their honor to the restoration of liberty, I have no counsel to offer. For those who get it, I am with you.

I have written often of the Constitution hoping to offer some legal basis for one's opposition to the oppression and 24/7 surveillance of the government, to no avail. But, the Constitution is irrelevant in these times. It was never a guarantee of our liberties, but a basis for revolt against those who did not value the contract. But, we have not revolted. For all of the denigration of the Tea Party, at least they presented themselves. The liberty/Patriot community has done nothing, but complain and offer alternative definitions and couch their vehemence in principles no one understands.

So, when the government unveils its master plan for our money, our assets, our property and drops forever the facade of propriety, I expect the liberty/patriot community to do something, but I am not holding my breath. When each of you identify me as a lone aggressor, I hope you will keep this post in mind. I do not need your help or your assistance to do what I need to do, but you might need mine.

There is a valid case to be made for American
Exceptionalism.In the international
industrial community, which is where I have been these many months, it is
understood that it takes several men of other nations to do the work Americans
do every day.This is not due to
physical strength or intelligence, it is due to the work ethic bred into us by
a pioneering instinct, it is an understanding that it will take a lot of work
to make something out of nothing and we have the will and the persistence to
get it done.In other nations the caste
system tells people who they will be from the moment of their birth, until the
day of their death.With that knowledge
they lack inspiration, lack motivation and lack the individual vigor to take
great feats upon themselves.It is
somewhat the same structure we abandoned when we broke from Great Britain.

Being an American is special, less so today because of
our leadership, Democratic and Republican.In fact, the flaws that present themselves in our government did not
arise out of the people, who were often too busy managing their own affairs to
care much about what went on in Philadelphia and later Washington. But it was
the mismanagement of the politicians, their thirst for power and their desire
for influence that broke the American system.From the moment of its inception the Constitution was being undermined
by those who saw in it a way to greater stature and power, ever controlling
more and more of their own spheres until they encroached on everyone else’s.

It is a flawed system and whether one believes that it
was designed to enslave the people or that key rulings of the Supreme Court and
the excesses of certain presidential administrations caused the predicament
that we find ourselves in, we are nonetheless faced with terrible choices. We
must question who, in fact, we are.Are
we Americans, or not?What does that
mean when we have succumbed to the threats made against us by our government
for doing nothing other than acting like Americans?

We are no longer a free nation, for without anonymity,
one cannot be free in one’s pursuits, but will always have a master to
administer their affairs.The rampant
and constant violations of the Fourth Amendment have robbed us of our ability
to remain secure in our documents, our houses and our thoughts.They have the taste of blood and they will
not stop until they are able to imprison us for our opinions alone.

This is where we must consider who we are.Americans would not have stood by while all
of this was done to their liberty and to their privacy.We have to come to the understanding that
while we are still Americans, this is no longer America.

I have had the chance to meet some old friends and
some new friends at the 7th North Carolina Patcon that I have waited
so long to attend.Those grounds are America, filled with Americans who
are rightfully and dutifully upset at the quiet revolution which has taken
place, not on the battlefields, but in the boardrooms of corporations and in federal
committees.The revolution has not been
done by them, but to them, without a shot.That is not to say that it was done without violence, as many will
attest, but without a straight up fight like we gave the British. It was done,
exactly how the Marxists do things, through courts and with sheer, brutal
force.

But, I still believe that it is American
exceptionalism that will win out, at some point, because of all of them gathered
there.America might be gone, as a
political entity that brought us from the backwoods to the very pinnacle of
world power in just a few decades, but Americans are not.

For a long time it has been accepted that Americans
have excelled and exceeded because of their form of government; that the
Constitution was a brilliant document that created the greatest industrial,
financial, military and commercial power ever to exist.But, the Constitution did not create
Americans; Americans created it. No other people could have conceived of the
form of government we call our own.

But, the nation is changing again as it has from its
beginning.Immigration is changing it;
the Marxists who could not win the Cold War have vanquished every level of our
society.The power-hungry and greedy are
consuming more and more of our liberty and enslaving us to pay their
debts.There are not many who remember
freedom, what its benefits were and why we should desire it.They have come from different systems or
ideological perspectives and they are not us, as always, no matter how far one
goes back into the history of the United States, there have always been some
Americans, who truly were not.

But, for those of us who are, who hold our liberty
jealously, who do not see themselves as wards of the state and ask only to have
a fair chance to grow and build and produce for their families, it is a tough
time.Every adversary of freedom wants
desperately to extinguish the notion of individualism, of self-sufficiency, and
of determination, because, as they see it, those are the American traits that
stand in the way of their socialist paradise.They must make us give in to the power of the state.And, they have no conscience to battle, for
they have staked their claim to humanitarianism, even if they have to kill each
and every one of us to prove it.

After World War II America was flush with success,
they had used their ingenuity, their determination and penchant for hard work
to defeat every foe on Earth.They had,
by 1945, the ability to annihilate any nation that stood against it.A lot of other countries would have used that
power to control the world, to demand homage be paid; to blackmail.Even as we recognized that the Soviet Union
would become an ardent adversary we did not use our power to destroy it. That
is American and it is exceptional in the annals of history.

So, today, we face those same Marxists, even if they
were born in America into long-standing capitalist fortunes, they have never
been truly American. Being American is not a race, or even an ethnicity, it is
an understanding that liberty is the cornerstone, the very source of fantastic
achievements and innovations that propel a nation and its people into
greatness.Without it, we are just like
the rest of the world, bound up and stifled by regulations and government
oversight of every thought.

There is a thing such as American exceptionalism.In liberty we are exceptional, in restraint
we are not.To save this nation from the
horrors of Marxist rule we must embrace the idea that liberty itself, privacy
and freedom from regulation are essential, not just to prosperity, but to
survival. A weakened nation, as we currently are due to the detour we have
taken from this simple understanding, cannot long avoid the attacks of overseas
powers who seek our destruction, be that North Korea, Russia, China or ISIS.

We are in the unenviable position of having to do
everything we can, to be exceptional Americans, to wrest control of our fates
from our own government that has, through evil intent and amazing mismanagement
destroyed our national strength.

Our national strength is not, as the Marxists believe,
in our resources, our industry and our commerce, but in the ideological
understanding that the power of the individual is the key to the success of American
society.The fact that our strength is
wholly incompatible with Marxist rule seems to escape them.It is vital that we, as Americans, understand
this.That we proceed from this moment
to demand our rights as a form of national survival.Without it, without us, this nation and all
of the people in it are lost.

That is why this Patcon is important, why gathering in
Meatspace is important, why participating in local groups, refining mutual
defenses is important, why communications are important and why regarding our
militias as integral to our survival is absolutely necessary. Every important
stance against the arbitrary power of the federal government has included
support from a militia.

We don’t have to agree with everyone everywhere. We
are incapable of being sycophants by our very natures, but supporting the
militias and local defense organizations makes the task of oppression much more
difficult to hide from the vast majority of true Americans who agree with our
perspective.Refusing to be rolled over
by the power of government has always been American and it has always made us
exceptional.
